About Punjabi

Gurmukhi Punjabi

Punjabi is an ancient language, which embarked on a literary career rather late. Its script Gurmukhi, is based on Devanagri (the script in which Sanskrit was originally written). It has over 90 million native speakers according to the Pakistan census of 1998 and the India census of 2001, which makes it approximately the 11th most widely spoken language in the world. Punjabi emerged as an independent language in the 11th century from the Sauraseni Apabhramsa. Guru Arjan Dev ji, the fifth Guru, compiled Sri Guru Granth Sahib with a substantial portion of the Guru Granth Sahib in Punjabi.
